Delhi police to launch vehicle theft FIR registration app

Cops in Delhi have decided to go hi-tech with plans to roll out a full-fledged app that registers FIRs online in case of motor vehicles theft. The trial run of this app has gone smoothly, and 15 cases have already been registered since April 16, 2015, according to the Delhi police.

The cops in the national capital are planning a grand event to officially launch this app and efforts are also being made to get this app launched by Home Minister Rajnath Singh.

Delhi police is the first in the world to implement this provision, which allows online registration of FIRs in motor vehicle theft cases and furnishes an 'Untraced Report' duly accepted by relevant court.

According to Ravindra Yadav, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime), the launch of this app will not only be a game changer in the history of Indian Police, but also the world over. He explains that online FIR has been thought and deliberated since long time, but has been conceptualised and executed for the first time.

The top cop of the Delhi Crime Unit claims that the most challenging part in the development and execution of this app was the Court module. He states that the Delhi police had to make several presentations before the High Court's e-committee as well as the District Courts and sync their systems with that of the court’s systems. Another major step was getting the e-Court notified in every district court for this purpose.

On explaining how this app will function, Yadav states that whenever a vehicle is recovered the details of the same will be matched with centralised databases which will then result in disposal of cases.
